About this entry

93% of key specs known. Missing: hardening.

Sold as the "39mm Automatic Pilot watch with Black Dial and Sapphire Crystal" (ISL-102 with a Type-A dial, ISL-108 with a Type-B navigator dial). These two keep the NH35's date at 3; the ISL-103 to 107 and ISL-109 to 113 versions have the date mechanics removed and are a separate model (39mm Automatic Pilot (NH35, no date)). Not the later, thinner 39mm Pilot (ISL-227 to 232, 11.6mm, on a bracelet). ISL-108's description says "day and date display", but its spec table says "date at the 3:00" and the photo shows a single date window, so it is recorded as date only. 39 x 12mm, 46mm lug to lug, 20mm lugs, screw-down crown with knurled logo, 100m, solid screw-in caseback etched with an F-14 Tomcat silhouette. Flat sapphire with AR on the inside (spec table). Hands, markers and dial markings treated with C3 Super-LumiNova; ISL-108 has a red-painted seconds hand. Weight 78g from the spec table (not stated what was weighed; the watch ships on a strap). Supplied on a black leather strap with matching stitching and a signed buckle; no bracelet offered. Both are tagged "Discontinued" in the Long Island Watch store and were sold out on 2026-10-21; the prices are the last listed ones. No independent review found.
